General Session Launch

Awards Show / Recognition

Awards shows should leave the winners feeling sky high, but unfortunately the actual business of giving awards can drag the pace to a crawl and leave participants wanting to stick a fork in their eyes. Ever been to one of those?

Comedy About Sales

Sales meetings have one purpose: motivating future performance. One powerful way to achieve that is to show your team that you really get what they go through every day on the way to hitting the targets you set.

I'd love to hear about your event and what you need to accomplish. Click here to set something up!

Keynote

Using the most time-tested techniques and hooks that we've developed, honed and performed over the past 15 years, we grab your audience's attention with a mixture of belly laughs and song, highlighting the ironic and familiar hurdles that we all face, trying to deliver great performances in the modern world of work.

With the audience's respect and attention in hand, we transition to deliver proven strategies (sometimes from our own experiences from the hyper-competitive entertainment industry), for them to stay calm, engaged, focused and motivated, when the next set of challenges come their way.

General Session Launch

The Water Coolers' 5-15 minute performances will launch your session with customized songs and pyrotechnic singing to wake your audience up and make them lean in with anticipation. Like our fully customized shows we can build in key points. It's like a cup of espresso with a message.​

NOTE: The highlights below are from a fully customized conference opener, but we have a super fun and energizing set ready to go that pulls from our award-winning comedy about work and life. And if you want, we can stay on and do a few more pop-up performances to energize the room throughout the day.

Awards & Recognition

Our executive producer is a former conference planner -- OK, in the spirit of full disclosure, I'm the executive producer and I'm writing this -- and the awards show was the bane of her / my existence. That's why we put together our awards show packages that, depending on your needs, can combine our award-winning comedy about work with customized tributes and MC work to create a truly amazing event.

Sales Meetings

But how do you do that? In a word: hilariously. Sales professionals are smart, competitive, fun-loving people. Not cynical, but not really an Up-With-People crowd. You need to be truly funny and dead-on authentic. The Water Coolers have up to 15 minutes of comedy written specifically for sales audiences about the challenges they face with input from working account reps -- quotas, clients, meetings cancelled when you're already in the parking lot, from the airport cocktail to the drive-thru Taco Bell, we get it and we can make them laugh about it. Really, really hard.

Fully Customized Show

A 15-25 minute customized show that talks directly to your audience in their language, makes them laugh ridiculously hard, inspires them, and reinforces key messages.

We write, revise, cast, arrange, stage and rehearse your show in NYC before delivering it to your event. We can target any demographic or goal and change the show length. It's all about hitting your target.

Simply incredible impact at any point in an event from the opening general session launch to a celebration night that leaves them on a high.

Mainstage Entertainment

We deliver universally relatable and uncommonly funny comedy about having a job, hand-picking a set list from our constantly updated, award-winning repertoire. Top NYC talent take the stage at your event to send up the relentless and sometimes ridiculous gauntlet we call a work life, making audiences "laugh so hard their cheeks hurt." Many, many times, event planners have told us that their biggest concern after the show is trying to figure out how to top our performance next year. (We love that.)

We can perform after lunch or dinner shows or kick off the event with a short high-powered set and come back throughout the day to bring a shot of energy and focus to the platform.​​
